Specific embodiment
The identical reference numerals of identical or feature with phase same-action in figure.
The first contact surface 3 and the second of the second substrate 2 of first substrate 1 is merely displayed in situation shown in Fig. 1 The section of processing chemical reaction is carried out during pre- engagement step between contact surface 4 or immediately after.The surface has pole Property OH base terminal therefore be hydrophilic.First substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are by the OH base and H that are present on the surface2O molecule it Between and only H2The attraction of water bridge between O molecule is fixed.At least the hydrophily of first contact surface 3 is in previous steps Increased by the corona treatment of first contact surface 3.
Hopper 5 is formed by corona treatment according to the present invention in the superficial layer 6 being made of thermal silicon dioxide.It utilizes O of the ion energy within the scope of 0 and 2000 eV2Ion carries out the average thickness of hopper 5 caused by corona treatment R substantially 15nm, the ion form channel or hole in the superficial layer 6.
Similarly, H is used before step shown in Fig. 1 and after corona treatment2O is filled out as the first starting material Fill the hopper 5.The reduction type of ion present in corona treatment may be alternatively located in the hopper, especially O2、N2、 H2、Ar。
Therefore, contact surface 3,4 still has relatively wide spacing, particularly depends on existing between the contact surface 3,4 Water.Therefore, existing bond strength is relatively small and is generally between 100 mJ/cm2With 300 mJ/cm2Between, especially greater than 200 mJ/cm2.In this regard, it is previous it is plasma-activated play a decisive role, be particularly due to through plasma-activated The first contact surface 3 increased hydrophilicity and by the gas ions activate caused by smoothing effect.
Shown in Fig. 1 and be referred to as the method that engages in advance preferably can in environment temperature or it is 50 DEG C maximum at carry out.Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b shows hydrophilic engagement, and wherein Si-O-Si bridge is formed by-OH sealing end facial cleft solution water outlet.Method in Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b Continue substantially 300 hours at room temperature, substantially 60 hours at 50 DEG C.State in Fig. 2 b do not betide instruction at a temperature of and not Generate the hopper.
H is formed between contact surface 3,42O molecule and at least partly provide H2O molecule is further to fill the reservoir Slot 5, as long as there is also free spaces.Other H2O molecule is removed.In the step of according to Fig. 1,3 to 5 are substantially existed Single OH base or H2O layers and from according to the step of Fig. 1 to a according to fig. 2 the step of, remove 1 to 3 single layer H2O is accommodated In the hopper 5.
In step shown in fig. 2 a, hydrogen bridge band is formed directly between siloxane group now, is thus generated bigger Engaging force.The distance between attract contact surface 3,4 more strongly each other and reduce the contact surface 3,4. There is only 1 to 2 single OH bases between the contact surface 1,2 as a result,.
In step shown in figure 2b, successively according to the Reaction Separation H being hereafter inserted into2O molecule, in the contact table The covalent bond in silanol form is formed between face 3,4, is led to stronger engaging force and is required smaller space, so that The distance between described contact surface 3,4 further decreases, and meets directly with one another and last until based on the contact surface 3,4 Reach minimum range shown in Fig. 3:
Si-OH+HO-Si↔Si-O-Si+H2O。
Until in the stage 3, be particularly due to the formation of the hopper 5, without exceedingly increasing temperature, even if on the contrary in room Also it may be allowed its progress under temperature.By this method, the processing step such as Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 quite can carefully be carried out.
In the method and step shown in Fig. 4, temperature be preferably increased to maximum 500 DEG C, more preferably up to 300 DEG C, even More preferably up to 200 DEG C, 100 DEG C most preferably maximum, most preferably no more than room temperature, so as between the first and second contact surfaces Form irreversible or permanent engagement.Relatively low temperature is only possible compared with the prior art for these, because of the reservoir Slot 5 includes the first starting material for reaction shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6:
Si+2H2O→SiO2+2H2
It is aforementioned be slightly increased at a temperature of, H2O molecule diffuses to conversion zone 7 from hopper 5 as the first starting material.This Diffusion can directly contact with grown layers 8 via the superficial layer 6 formed as oxide layer or exist via between the oxide layer Gap 9 and occur.Therefore, silica is the compound with the molal volume greater than pure silicon, as the anti-of above-mentioned reaction Product 10 is answered to be formed by the conversion zone 7.The silica grows up on interface of the conversion zone 7 with grown layers 8 and thus makes to be formed For native oxide grown layers 8 layer along gap 9 Direction distortion.Herein, it is also desirable to the H from hopper2O molecule.
Due to there is the gap in nanometer range, so a possibility that there are the protuberances of native oxide layer 8, therefore can Reduce the stress in the contact surface 3,4.The distance between described contact surface 3,4 reduces by this method, thus further It increases effective contact surface and thus further increases bond strength.It formed by this method, be closed all holes and in entire The unwelded product in middle part can fundamentally promote the enhancing of engaging force to the welded connecting formed on chip compared with the prior art. The bond types between two amorphous silicon faces being welded to one another are covalent and ionic portions mixed forms.
First starting material (H2O) with the previous reaction of the second starting material (Si) especially quickly or at alap temperature Occur in the conversion zone, as long as the average distance B between first contact surface 3 and the conversion zone 7 is as small as possible.
Therefore, the pretreatment of first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 are (by pasc reaction layer 7 and conduct grown layers 8 as thin as possible Natural oxide layer composition) selection be conclusive.According to the present invention provided native oxide layer it is as thin as possible for Two reasons.The grown layers 8 are very thin so that it since (superficial layer is as oxide skin(coating) for the superficial layer 6 towards opposing substrate 1 Formed) it can be swelled in the reaction product 10 being newly formed in the conversion zone 7, and mainly in the region of nano gap 9.In addition, the phase Hope diffusion path as short as possible to obtain required effect fastly and at alap temperature as far as possible.Similarly, first substrate 1 It is made of silicon layer and being formed thereon as the oxide skin(coating) of superficial layer 6 (hopper 5 is at least partially or fully formed in wherein).
The first starting material for needing to be closed the amount of nano gap 9 is correspondingly at least filled in hopper 5 according to the present invention, So that the grown layers 8 can occur most preferably growth and be received in the shortest possible time or being closed this at alap temperature Rice gap 9.
